Everything about Autoregressive model

Representation of a type of random process

In statistics, an autoregressive (AR) model is a modelled representation of a type of random process. It can be used to describe time-varying processes from many natural and artificial sources. The model specifies output variables that are dependent linearly on their own previous values on a stochastic basis. The model is in the form of a stochastic difference equation which should not be confused with a differential equation. Together with the moving-average (MA) model, it is a special case and key component of the more general autoregressive–moving-average (ARMA) and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models of time series, which have a more complicated stochastic structure; it is also a special case of the vector autoregressive model (VAR), which consists of a system of more than one interlocking stochastic difference equation in more than one evolving random variable.
